Logitech MX Keys Review - It just gives me an excuse to work more!

Logitech MX Keys Review - It just gives me an excuse to work more! With the majority of us working from home during these times, it wouldn’t be a surprise that some of us are looking for products to upgrade our home office. I’ve been meaning to upgrade my desk setup for some time (and that’s for another post), but the things that I’m touching the most when I’m working are definitely my keyboard and mouse. So as part of my desk setup upgrade, I’ve decided to get the Logitech’s MX Bundle after hearing so much rave about it, which includes the Logitech MX Keys and the Logitech MX Master 3 mouse. And a wrist pad… Can’t forget the wrist pad. For this particular post though, I’ll just focus on the keyboard (which is what I’m using to type this up now). Price I wanted to get this out of the way first because this is probably the biggest downside to this bundle - it’s definitely not cheap. Even with the discount I managed to get from my credit card, the entire bundle still ended up at $300 AUD...

It's "SF", not "San Fran"

It's "SF", not "San Fran" We squeezed in one and a half days in San Francisco before our flight back home, and it was packed with city exploring. It started off in the Fisherman's Wharf and Pier 39, where I saw seals from different sizes just sunbathing under the Californian sun. There were so many of them! I then took a quick stroll through Lombard Street and then through Chinatown. Then ended the first night with a group dinner at  Perbacco  - an awesome pasta restaurant with excellent service. I highly recommend going there - it's cosy, atmosphere is nice and the attention to detail the staff gives is on point. The next day we were picked up by our colleagues working in SF, and we were driven slightly out of the main city area to Sausalito. It was a very nice waterside area and it reminds me very much of Watsons Bay back home. It was also the first time crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. Unfortunately I didn't get a good photo of the br...

My First Time to America (Yes, really this time)

My First Time to America (Yes, really this time) So this trip was completely unexpected. I didn't think I would visit the USA any time soon but I ended up having the opportunity to visit California, and LA was my first stop. I do have to say - it wasn't what I expected. On Google Maps everything in LA looks so close together. Each of our destination only seemed to be about 20 mins or so drive away - but that's WITHOUT TRAFFIC. It seems the different parts of LA are only connected by one main highway and everyone spends almost half their day stuck in traffic. On multiple occasions, Google Maps actually directed us to get off the highway and on again at the next entrance so we can avoid the traffic in between. Traffic aside, we still had time to visit most of the landmarks we wanted to go. The hike up Runyon Canyon Park was beautiful and was easily the best part of my time in LA. There are also so many doggos around LA! I saw at least 40+ doggos during my few d...
